I stopped by today to get a smog and let me just say Bill is amazing! While arriving to get my smog…read moredone Bill noticed a fire nearby & he let me know he'd be back & ran towards to fire to see if help was needed. I followed to see if help was needed but it wasn't anything serious. A nearby neighbor was performing a Mayan fire ceremony. Which looking how our world is today especially after finding out about Cesar Chavez us in the Latino community are finding ways to cope with these revelations. Anyways I was very impressed with Bill's instinct to go and immediately go & offer help without hesitation. We need more people like Bill, truly a great man. This is my first time getting a smog performed here but it's my second time connecting with Bill. I tend to get my oil change next door and I started talking to him and he gave me great insight on how to make homemade all natural fertilizer. I told myself next time I need a smog I would come here & sure enough the service was excellent. It was done quickly & efficiently. I will come back for sure & refer my loved ones here. Bill you are an amazing person. Keep on being you man!

I spoke to the owner John over the phone, and soon after we drove our two cars to get them smogged. John was very professional and super friendly, and he offered us two chilled bottles of water while we waited in the corner shady area next to the shop that has a tent set up. Everything was done quickly and efficiently, and we spent less than 20 minutes altogether for two cars. This was not only a painless transaction, but turned out to be a very pleasant experience while supporting a small La Mirada business, we highly recommend Low Price Test Only to everyone who is due for a smog check, you'll be glad you did. Kudos to John for running a great little local business that provides excellent customer service and charges a fair price for his expertise.

They were able to help me with my smog check and let me know what was wrong with my truck all the way around. I needed an oil change and they took care of it no problem. Also was able to tell me which tire pressure sensor was bad and was able to tell me about my stability track. On top of all of that they topped off all my oil and fluids. Check all of my filters. It was just a really good experience that I haven't had from a repair shop in a very long time not even the dealer does it like that anymore. I really appreciate how transparent they are. Five stars really aren't enough stars for them. And the best part is, it's a price you can't resist. Thank you guys!

Valvoline Instant Oil Change

Just got my oil change done at Valvoline in Whittier and honestly, not bad!…read more Everything was quick, smooth, and efficient. I stayed in my car the whole time, and the technician (a female staff member) was clearly hardworking and knew exactly what she was doing. She explained things clearly without making it feel overwhelming or pushy. Price-wise, I paid about $105 for full synthetic. It's probably not the cheapest option out there, but for me, it was worth it. If you're someone who: 1. Values efficiency 2. Just wants to get it done without hassle 3. Doesn't want to deal with traditional mechanics Then this is a great option. I'd rather spend a little extra for convenience and peace of mind. Overall, would definitely recommend

I had a frustrating experience just a few days ago at a different shop where my truck failed the smog check. The issue was with the OBDII monitoring, but the technician there was zero help--he didn't offer any explanation, just charged me the full fee and told me to "try again in a couple of days." I felt like I was just throwing money away. Coming to Alvarez was a completely different experience. Not only was the service fast, but the technician actually took the time to talk to me. He explained exactly why my truck failed previously and what I needed to do (drive cycles) before getting it tested again to ensure it would pass this time. Save yourself the headache and the money--this is the only place I'll be taking my vehicles from now on.

They quoted me way under anyone else that I had called prior to going with them. I will recommend A-1 Muffler Express to all of my friends and family. They all make you feel that you're part of the family. They offered me coffee and cold water while I waited for my car to be done. One thing to remember, they are experts in mufflers, exhaust systems, and not any other type of work. But it never hurts to ask if they can do it for you!

Please trust me on this!!! This guy is a thief. My Father has been Technician for 40 years and I know a thing or two. I took my car to this THIEF Jimmy for a smog and he opened up my hood and saw a performance intake than did the test and said it passed but it didn't pass because of this intake then this guy had the nerve to charge me after he knew it wouldn't pass but still did the test anyways!!! Jimmy is not honest a honest person would of said he this is not going to pass fix it than come back but no he wanted to be a thief. I don't care what these other reviews say this guy is not honest.

We went driving around to see what shops we found. Im really big on vibes and so when i spoke to a few mechanics I didn't feel comfortable with them. I wanted a place that wasnt overly expensive but that did a great job. After stopping at a few shops we saw this one and stopped. My first impression was 50's vibe lol Its like a small historic museum with a lot of retro items. The person I spoke to came across as a "no bs" type of guy. I heard him talking to the person in front of me and although I was a bit intimidated I felt that he would be honest and felt a good vibe. He was very professional. The communication was excellent. Service was quick. And they explained what needed to be done in a way I understood. The receipt they give is very detailed which I loved. I have since got a new car but if i ever need a mechanic, i would come here!
